Yesterday, as I was sitting at The Cup talking on Twitter, Kit Seeborg (@zsazsa) let me know that I should just come by for PodCamp Boulder. Since the event was almost over (it was around 3pm) – I figured I’d just stop by and say hi (and enjoy myself a nice cup or two of Flying Dog Beer). I am so glad I did.
PodCamp Boulder – organized by Jeremy Tanner (@penguin) and hosted at the skinnycorp/Threadless Offices. Since I missed most of the sessions, I can only really comment on the community. Boulder has a great community. There are so many great people and personalities. While, I haven’t met everyone, the people I have met are all friendly and very intelligent. I learn a lot just from the random conversations that pop up when people of similar interests get together.
At the end of the day, one of the last sessions was “Thriller” – which involved teaching the attendees how to dance like the Zombies from the Thriller video. (Not sure if it was inspired by this Threadless t-shirt or not, but the shirt itself is awesome enough to get it’s own link.) I did not participate – mostly because there’s enough video of me dancing online.
(video quality is suspect: sorry!)
After filming some of the dancing, I instead participated in the final session – including some good bits on micro-celebrity and various talk on consultants, twitter followers, brands and names – all the typical stuff that happens at those things.
After PodCamp, many of the attendees decided to make the trek to Denver and head to “Goremet.” I scored a ride with Cornbread and Jeremy, and we swapped stories of rouge driving and people who talk about their followers. Goremet was great – the same people who were just talking tech together now watching horror movies and eating Kitty Litter Cake. We watched the Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Jessica Biel FTW!). After that, I took a ride back to Boulder (Thanks again @stepan) and called it a night.
Overall, not a bad way to spend a Saturday night – especially when it just kind of unfolds organically.
